After further snooping around the net, I like this site better as it seems to have more info:

http://www.virtualvet.com/petowners/poisonfacts.htm

I had a very good friend almost lose her Flat-coated retriever when he got in some snail bait, then licked his feet.

He went into convulsions. It was very scary for her, not to mention the huge vet bill.

We buy snail bait that is not harmful to dogs and cats. It can be done. I have no cats, but they are in the 'hood, and I certainly would not want to poison them.

Please see my post directly above - did not ping properly :)

And I'm sorry if it seems I'm beating a dead horse, but I must remind you that (as the holidays approach), turkey can be deadly for dogs.

I had heard that on my various i/n dog-lists, and had 2nd hand experience last year. My Aunt lives with her son/dil (actually, they live with her), and she had a beloved Maltese. They laughed with fun watching the little thing beg for more and more turkey. Next day it was gone. Pancreatitis. She bawled this to me over the phone, and I did not have the heart to tell her they had killed that sweet little dog, but I did tell her daughter, so it could be relayed, not to happen again. It's a painful way to go, I hear.
